How do I appeal from the High Court to the Supreme Court of Appeal in South Africa?

I want to appeal a decision of the High Court of South Africa. How do I appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal? Topic: How do I appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal? Question: I am dissatisfied with the decision of the High Court of South Africa. How do I appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal? And what are their contact details? Many legal disputes are adjudicated in the High Courts of South Africa. Each province in South Africa has at least one High Court. If you are not happy with the decision of the High Court, you can appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal. In South Africa, the Supreme Court of Appeal is the second-highest court in the judicial hierarchy, and it primarily hears appeals from the High Court. The Supreme Court of Appeal generally does not hear cases directly but serves as a court of appeal for matters that have already been heard in the lower courts. Here are common circumstances under which you can appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal: Appeals from High Court Decisions: The Supreme Court of Appeal hears appeals from decisions of the various divisions of the High Court. If you are dissatisfied with a judgment or order of the High Court, you can appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal. Civil Appeals: Civil matters, including disputes related to contracts, property, family law, and other civil issues, can be appealed to the Supreme Court of Appeal. Criminal Appeals: Appeals in criminal cases, including appeals against convictions, sentences, or both, can be brought before the Supreme Court of Appeal. Constitutional Matters: While the Constitutional Court is the highest court for constitutional matters, the Supreme Court of Appeal may still deal with constitutional issues arising in the context of appeals from the High Court. Administrative Law Appeals: Appeals involving administrative law matters, such as decisions made by government bodies, may be heard by the Supreme Court of Appeal. Interpretation of Legislation: Matters involving t

May a parent relocate from South Africa with a minor child without the other parent's consent?

Frequently asked questions regarding relocation and consent when it comes to minor children Relocation – Are you planning on relocating to another country or moving to a different province within South Africa with your minor child? Are you concerned about the issue of consent from the other parent? Below are some frequently asked, and related questions on the topic. We would encourage you to post and answer some of the questions, or just leave a comment. Parents often decide to relocate with their minor children. However, they do not always understand the legal requirements and implications involved. For example, can they just leave the country with the minor child or do they require the other parents’ consent? Furthermore, if consent is required and refused; what are the remedies available to that parent? With regard to the issue of moving from one province to another, unless a court order stipulates otherwise, consent is not required. However, the relocation from one province to another could have an effect on existing parental responsibilities and rights. Under these circumstances, a variation of the court order would be warranted. There are, therefore, also other issues involved when it comes to relocation. For example, what contact would the other parent who remains in South Africa have with the minor children after relocation? The aforementioned questions and a range of other related questions may be posed and answered below. Feel free to post your question should this blog post not have answered it. Can I move from South Africa to the United Kingdom with my child without the father’s permission? If the father has parental responsibilities and rights of guardianship, his consent is required for the relocation to the United Kingdom. For example, if the father and the mother were married, then under those circumstances, unless an order of the court determines otherwise, the father’s consent is required. If the father was not married to the mother bu
